WASHINGTON ACCUSES MOSCOW OF NOT RESPECTING THE RIGHTS OF OPPONENT ALEXEI NAVALNY

The Russian opponent, currently imprisoned, is the main detractor of Vladimir Putin. He said Thursday that he had been deprived of confidential conversations with his lawyers.

"The prison authorities hampered the preparation of his defense and his ability to communicate freely with his lawyer", for example by monitoring their meetings or by causing delays in their exchange of documents, he explained.

This is "new evidence of politically motivated harassment" targeting Alexei Navalny, as well as " his repeated solitary confinement for alleged minor offences", continued Ned Price.

In addition, according to him, each document exchanged with his defense will now be subject to a "check for three days" by the prison administration.

"In truth, there is nothing left, formally, of my rights of defense, which were already quite illusory," lamented this 46-year-old anti-corruption activist.

(Washington) Washington accused Moscow on Friday of not respecting the rights of imprisoned Russian opponent Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin’s main critic, in particular by not letting him “communicate freely with his lawyer”.

“The United States is deeply concerned that the Russian government is arbitrarily and increasingly interfering with the rights of Alexei Navalny,” US State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.

“The prison authorities hampered the preparation of his defense and his ability to communicate freely with his lawyer”, for example by monitoring their meetings or causing delays in their exchange of documents, he explained.

This is “new evidence of politically motivated harassment” targeting Alexei Navalny, as well as “his repeated solitary confinement for alleged minor offences”, continued Ned Price.

This highlights “the fear felt by those who speak the truth” in Russia, he concluded, calling once again for the immediate release of the opponent.

Thursday, Alexei Navalny claimed to have been deprived of confidential conversations with his lawyers.

In addition, according to him, each document exchanged with his defense will now be subject to a “verification for three days” by the prison administration.

“In truth, there is nothing left, formally, of my rights of defense, which were already quite illusory”, had regretted this 46-year-old anti-corruption activist.

Last March, Alexeï Navalny was sentenced to nine years in prison under a “severe” regime for charges of embezzlement which he considers fictitious.

Why the United States and Canada are experiencing a Santa Claus shortage

Year-end festivities in the United States and Canada are threatened by a lack of Santa Claus. Because of the sanitary context, many extras have abandoned the red and white costume. In the halls of  http://www.interleads.net/classifieds/business-opportunities_3/health/biodermalix-biodermalix-chile_i661645 department stores, in markets or even at company events: Santas are everywhere in December. The  http://www.quickregister.info/classifieds/business-opportunities_2/health/biodermalix-biodermalix-chile_i315630 flagship character is recognizable with his large white beard and red costume. But the United States and Canada are worried about a shortage of extras who have preferred to hang up the mantle. To tick all the boxes of the  https://myworldgo.com/profile/biodermalixbuy ideal character, Santa Claus must be over a certain age and highlight some curves. Unfortunately, this candidate-model also corresponds to the risk profile in the face of the coronavirus. Potential ca...

A new category for cyclones?

And if we needed a new category for cyclones, a category 6: climatologists are asking the question . Forecasts show that Category 3 and above cyclones are expected to double by 2050.  We are beginning to know the toll of Cyclone Ian : at least 107 dead, and 50 billion dollars in damage. It is the biggest hurricane to hit Florida in 60 years. The details of Mathilde Fontez, editor-in-chief of the scientific magazine Espiloon. Mathilde Fontez: Yes, there is the example of Ian. But especially from Hurricane Patricia which hit Central America in 2015, with winds of 350 km/h – it is the most intense ever observed. And Dorian, in 2019, who was also particularly violent. It's a bit like temperature records: cyclone power records have been piling up in recent years. And the cause is the same: global warming.   The climatologists, in the IPCC reports in particular, predicted that these extreme events were going to become more frequent, and intense?  Yes. For cyclones, this is...
